London riots victim to have stolen PSP replaced by Sony

Sony has said that it will replace a PSP stolen from a mugging victim during the London riots.

Ashraf Haziq, a Malaysian student who had suffered a broken jaw and was bleeding on the side of the road in Barking, East London, was helped to his feet before the contents of his backpack were stolen.

Footage of the incident was printed in newspapers and shown on national television, and prompted a website to be set up to help "do something nice" for Haziq.

Sony has since responded and said that it will replace his stolen PSP, according to VG247.

"If we can find out how to get it to him we'll replace the PSP," said a representative for the firm.
